you can already do this in 2 ways:
(1) if you're using Lynx 2-7 (the latest version), you can recall URLs
while at the g command line using the up/down-arrow keys:
previously entered URLs are stored in a loop;
you can also edit the command line.
(2) also in 2-7, there's a new command V (capital),
which gives you a list of all links previously visited in that session:
it's different from & a great improvement on the History page.

all this sounds too complicated to be worth the programming effort,
tho' someone might have a try: useful features for Lynx have to find
willing volunteer code-writers ...
